Very nice, I like that there's sounds and visuals and it feels nicely polished and complete. The only thing i didn't like is that projectiles seem to despawn before hitting enemies a lot of the time, not sure if that's intended. 

Hopefully the rainforests (and all the other life on earth, eh?) won't all be cleared for parking lots just yet. Well done, learning game dev is hard at the start, you honestly got the hard part out of the way :p

Anyone want to model 500 weapon pieces in blender for me? No? Okay, guess I'll do two a week for the rest of my life :p

7 gun types * 4 style variations * 4 variations per part * 5 parts per gun = 560 potential parts. Course I can reuse like crazy but it's still probably 200 ish pieces... Eiya.

I love this style, hyper light drifter is what got me into games so I'll always love that style. However I do feel like if I use this for most of a game I'll end up not having enough. Specifically larger space filling foreground things like trees, totem poles or bamboo esque plants, something to complete the large alien flora side of things.

I'm considering buying already but a few more of those things would make it an easy choice. I'm sure you're busy though, I know it's old :p Great pack, either way. Love the colors

Some more useful than others for games but there's a lot of variety so you can pick and choose for what you need. I use the grey scale versions and apply my own color maps. Also it's not made with ai, but procedurally generated using pixel composer ect. I'll probably end up buying this proper. Nice work

They don't seem bad but I'm never going to buy a pack with apparently 100+ ish things in it that I can't see 90% of them... /: If you could include some kind of demo, beyond the thumbnail, so we know what we're getting that would be good. I'm aware this is 2 years old, btw.

Ah! I know it's the limitation, I did a game for the jam. Hmm. I dunno, I just like the style, i could take or leave the whole spinning thing. But maybe I am in my naivetay

That's how it be, eh? I'm currently messing with 3d trees since you can do so much more with GPU than CPU. I can make a whole forest 😃 it's epic 

That was a year ago! 😭 Perhaps you could, though the spin theme probably doesn't need to stay ;)

Curious if you've done more with this kind of thing, I think generating pixel art scenes is probably pretty doable, terrain, shading, height maps, foliage (?) ect is all possible. I personally think the noisy generation looks cool as heck. So what do you think? Still working on stuff like this at all?

Ohhhh, forgot about the whole remove unused thing, wouldn't have known that was the problem though! Wonderful, thank you yal! I shall sacrifice 3 more goats in your honor on the next full moon.  (tried it later, I already had the remove assets unchecked for texturing stuff (3d game) and that didn't help but switching in that code fixed it. Yay.)

I understand that this might be a vague issue (so feel free to just say you don't know how to help, I won't be offended...) but basically I've been using gmlive for a couple years and love it but recently I added a live_name to a method variable to make an instance function live and then removed it and ever since I can't run gmlive in any way or else I get the error below. 

The code I put into my method variable: 

live_name = "myFunc";
if (live_call()) return live_result;

I'm not sure if it's because of the live_name set or something unrelated (though, that would be a hell of a coincidence). I've tried deleting all the gmlive files from the project and removing literally every instance of any "live" word from the whole project, so that there's not a single gmlive call in my code (obviously still some in the library itself) and I still get this issue, fresh import with no live_calls anywhere in the project and it doesn't work. So... not really sure what to do. 

For the record the error variables there are the live_api_asset_index with a bunch of random assets in it, the l_name being "<null>", and the l_index being the first animation curve (0 ref animcurve)

That's all I got, god speed.

I'm glad, I love art, I love games, I love the stories we can tell. And you're contributing to that, so, thanks. It's a big world, and yet not full enough of happy people making cool stuff. I'm still cracking away at it myself, to make other people happy in the way that I am happy to see games like this. 

Ah, I must be thinking of some other guy, you know.. I look at a lot of games, easy to get confused (; But I know what you mean, you can get used to it but it's not ideal, especially making arrow keys work heh. Still think you should just use input... It'd be a lot easierrrr

Good stuff, it feels nice, the controls are pretty frustrating both in the directional shooting and the fact that it's forced to arrows and z... hate z for shooting.. Also I really like the art and effects, the sprites for the enemies are cute. However I think the floor sprite is pretty eh, there's a lot you could do with all that space, random grey and black grass isn't the most exciting. But of course, it's a fun game. Funny to think how long it's been since i played the other version

I've been adding to it and trying to figure out how exactly to use it best but I really like it, stuff like this deep-fold really inspires me to do more with it in various ways (:  One big thing I'm planning on doing and haven't had time for quite yet is shaded heights, so like, give the program a color and shades of that color and have it basically block in areas of terrain with a simple few pixels shade "under" those areas to give it that classic pixel verticality in little cobbles or paths. This example is a lovely piece by Frannek on twitter, goat of pixel art hehe. But you see the color mapping there.

Very neat!

I have no idea if there's better options but this works perfectly nicely, so yeah, thanks! You can do the basic outline with a line or two or bake them for laggier scenarios.

Well for what it's worth I like all your stuff so I just pop in sometimes to see what's up (: For the same reason I like the writing style, it feels like it's trying to achieve something impossible, or convey an unknowable and yet obvious truth, and that's very up my alley. I played the song of the ancient lords or whatever from fairsy (i cannot remember these names right now) and it was pretty cool too. 

I fricking love generated art, which i made a whole tool to draw my stupid doodles and get cool stuff out of it lol. This looks super cool though, in the limited design space it occupies it's gorgeous. Love the generators.

Sometimes people have important things to say, sometimes the message is clear and has been retold a thousand times. I think I understand.

Yeah you played a bit of an old version, it's got a bit more structure and layout stuff in it now.. and the debug draw on the screen x[

But to be honest you got most of the experience, it's always going to be a mining/fighting sandbox. Thanks for playing though :thumbsup

Okay i tried for a while longer because I didn't realize the whole map was connected, i thought it was two separate maps. Really cool! Even though it's simple it was quite fun, i ended up just trying to run through every room at the end to see everything and dodging enemies o;

RAH 1790 high score, im not really good at these games but it was fun to optimize and cheese the game a little get some extra points. It's a bit janky but honestly the shoot effect plus the sound is really satisfying, the fact that enemies stop when you shoot them is pretty nice too.. heh. Played for like 20 minutes i think, fun game when you get into it

I have 3 opinions on this, one, it's such a mess, the insane jump speed, the really loud music and effects (maybe my volume was just a bit high..) and the visuals are wild. Two, I like the technical effects, the destructible terrain is cool even if I don't understand why it's only happening under the ground half the time and the bodies piling up when they die is a super cool touch. 

Mostly though I just had a blast playing it, it was so disorienting and I really enjoyed the planes and bombing and the alien ships totally surprised me and blew me up several times. I really enjoyed this for the few minutes I played it, I'll probably never play it again but thanks for sharing. Super fun to play xp

Uh, I just meant the voices are pretty odd and with high speed or pitch change it's hard to hear what they're saying. Half the use of this would be language that's not actually understandable anyway though so it's an artistic preference. So, no problem-

Very neat, it's pretty hard to understand but that might just add to the fun, who knows

The background of the splash image at the top is so pretty, love the faded layering and color scheme. Nice art

It's nothing crazy, just a small side project, but I tried to drag the folder into a git repo and mashed some of the files. But I've used this tool before to fix a project (probably the same issue tbh) and it fixed it once again, I don't know how annoying it would be to do manually but it certainly would have been more than running this. So thanks yo, keeping my mistakes at bay. 'preciate it

Well there it is, half of why I want this is the organizational structure of the layered effects; using the ppx management style as a guide for my games since I'm not nearly familiar enough with shaders and effect management to know what the best way is. So I shall use ppx as my foundation and build from there. 

Well that means I can get ppx now too, why not. Price aside these are some damn good assets foxy, you're doing a service to the GM community and I for one appreciate the opportunity to use this level of lighting tool without having to get into the mechanics myself lol. I'll try to make some scenes worth showing off and make you proud. Until then, see ya 🫡

I waited like 6 months for this to go on sale and it didn't so i guess we're done waiting, though.. i'm still looking out for a sale on ppx.. But hey, i finally have a summer to mess around with it and maybe put it into some games, Bulb is currently doing pretty alright for me but light depthing, normals, light sprite animation, and pixel art light effects are pretty appealing. I doubt i'll need some of the fancy stuff like reflections but you never know, eh? Maybe some art direction makes that feel like it belongs and suddenly i'm glad to have it. Anyway, thanks for making this foxy, time to see what I can manage to use it for.

Yup that did seem to fix it, I'm calling the constructors with no assignment because i put all the things made in that way into one specific list so I just do it in the constructor and thus don't need to output them for anything, maybe I shouldn't do that but for now it seems fine... But yes, setting them to a dummy var fixes the crash. Cheers.

I'm using code editor 2 and contructors, eg, new item(x, y, z) , and it fails saying   Expected a statement, got construct     I saw another post on here from very recently that I swear talked about the same thing in the google results preview but when I click it I can't find the post anywhere.. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. I did see that live_auto_nr was a thing but that's for the constructor decleration, not the usage else where but I have to assume this is a known and fixed issue already. Thanks for reading, and thanks for making gmlive <3

Heya Gatsby, thanks for playing lol. The clipping and the shops are things I changed recently and didn't fix yet. Indeed there's no real direction or tutorial, there is a quest that directs you through the island and cave areas but even that isnt finished. There's lots of things that *are* done and not explained, the quest log, inventories, spell system (40+ unique spells), other levels beyond the spawn.. nothing is laid out in a sensible way because this is essentially just where I threw things while programming. It's very much not a build for the end user but just a little tech demo really. Hopefully soon though, as I've recently been working with an additional writer and artist and music people who all are excited to finally put together a real piece of the game. It will get real very quickly from here I think haha. But until then, it's everything you saw, lol. 

Nah man you're like one of my core channels for tutorials, more so back in time but definitely up there, i've seen many other devs post your videos as references too. You have quite an impact, trust me (: 

Wowie! How can I say no to a mountain of fun and freely usable fonts, for only $20? So many great ones to choose from, excited to put these into some games and see how they feel. Super cool!

Is that 1up indie eyyy, watched a lot of your videos in the past (;

Understood, I await that moment! your assets are super cool, excited to show you what I've done with them (; 

Foxy, my man, I've been mostly shader and post processing averse for my time learning GM but I've been hungering for some processing effects recently... Question though, when do you think these will go on sale next? I want to pick up this and your lighting engine but 110$ is a little steep an asset collection lol. It'd probably be worth it besides but hey :p (i'm wanderlust on discord by the by, probably kinda obvious)
